Kris Swords

Kris swords are believed to have originated in the 13th century on the island of Java in the Indonesian archipelago and migrated to the Philippines. The Kris sword is very distinct in appearance with various shapes and sizes. The blade may be straight, wavy or a combination of the two. The Kris sword widens near the handle with sharp protrusions which act as hand guards. When used in combat the Kris sword is mainly a slashing weapon but is strong enough to thrust with. Our Kris swords are hand-made in the Philippians in various shapes and sizes and are constructed of L6 high carbon steel blades. The Kris sword is an integral part of the Filipino culture, history and tradition. The 527 is a sword and dagger set.
